Chapter 1 Product Overview
Front Panel
By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100BASE-T or SFP). When a
link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link goes
down. If links are active on both media, the SFP-module port has priority, but you can use the media-
type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP port.
You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information
on configuring interfaces, see the switch software configuration guide.
Dual-Purpose Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports
You can configure the dual-purpose Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports on the switch as either
10/1001000BASE-T ports or as 100/1000 Mb/s SFP-module ports. You can set the 10/100/1000BASE-
T ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them as fixed 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet
ports.

SFP Modules
The SFP modules are switch Ethernet SFP modules that provide connections to other devices. These
field-replaceable transceiver modules provide the uplink interfaces. The modules have LC connectors
for fiber-optic connections.
Note The Cisco IE 2000 switch does not support copper SFP modules.
You can use any combination of the supported SFP modules:
